Thanks man. I'm going to try and incorporate some of this for my 12 year old daughter. If there's a simpler explanation of this for kids, that would help. Otherwise, I'll power through and make something myself. BTW, if you have a daughter that you're teaching to program, I wrote some articles here: http://pychildren.blogspot.com/2015/01/tiled-map-creation-fo... I'm working on some new lessons. Peace.
